Allocating Overhead Costs to Construction Projects - Direct Costs

 

Direct costs give you the best idea of where you are with a project.

Direct costs, or those costs associated with specific work to put in place, allow you to measure actual performance against your estimates. Typical direct costs include labor wages and related payroll taxes fringe benefits, including work compensation, liability insurance, vacation, and sick time. They also include material costs incorporated into the job, subcontractor costs, and charges for specific contract fees and assessments including tax, freight, and storage. This video reviews the typical direct costs of a construction project and how direct costs work into the construction circle.
